Introduction to Automotive Diagnostics with Vector Tools
This application note provides a comprehensive introduction to utilizing Vector's powerful CANoe and CANalyzer tools for automotive diagnostics. It delves into the fundamental technical aspects and practical possibilities offered by the Diagnostic Feature Set, serving as a valuable tutorial for engineers.
Discover how to effectively configure, maintain, support, control, and extend Electronic Control Units (ECUs) within a system, such as a vehicle. The document outlines the standard request-response scheme used in diagnostics, where a tester sends a request to an ECU, and the ECU responds with either the requested information or a negative response indicating the reason for failure.
This guide complements the online help resources available within CANoe and CANalyzer, offering practical examples to help test engineers get started with diagnostics testing. It covers a wide range of topics, from basic diagnostic descriptions and transport protocol support to advanced techniques like using CAPL for diagnostics, fault injection, and gateway simulations.
